New tyres on. The company messed up and actually out Goodyear F1's on instead of Goodyear efficient grip. The F1's look to be a better tyre.

The ride is so much better and the resistance on the steering (almost like it's fighting back) when turning has gone.

The inside tread on the fronts we're really bold but outer tread was great. I defo need an allignment.

The company who fitted the tyres do hunter laser tracking/allignment. £32 for front and same for rears £64 in total.

I'm going to get it done on Friday

£64 for all round tracking sounds a little expensive to me. Our local Hunter tracking outfit used to charge me £25 all round and I hardly think it would have more than doubled. But then Dorset is a magical place somewhere to the east of Middle Earth!

Rang 2 other places. It seems the norm to be priced around 50-60 for all 4 corners
